I am one

I am one as you are three 
Try to find a messiah in your trinity 
Your city to burn 
Your city to burn 
Try to look for something 
Your city to burn; you'll burn 
Am I as I seem? Oh no 
Don't slow down 
  
Time is right for a guiding light 
Try to turn to reasons in your inner life 
Your city to burn 
Your city to burn 
Try to look for something 
Your city to burn; you'll burn 
  
Said you're the only one who 
Said I am one 
Said now you're the one who 
Said I am one 

Siva

That's when I bend loose my head 
Throwing straight a spark instead 
Yellow streak down in my hair 
Dig it in the world I heal 
  
Way down deep and in my heart 
Lies a soul that's torn apart 
Tell me, tell me what you're after 
I just want to get there faster 
  
I don't live - I invade 
I don't give - I unveil 
Don't want to live in your misery 
I don't live - I invade 
  
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head 
Stars follow wishes fill your bed 
She said, "I'm dead" 
  
All this pain smothers me 
Like a bomb that you can't see 
Tell me, tell me what you're after 
I just want to get there faster 
  
I don't live - I invade 
I don't give - I unveil 
I don't live 

Rhinoceros

Planned a show 
Treasoned my roots 
Ice cream snow 
See you in June 
  
Could have known 
I would relive 
Should have known 
I would come see you 
  
Your way she knows 
And she knows she knows she knows 
  
Colors show 
After long 
I should go 
See you in June 
  
Open your eyes - to these must I lie? 

Bury me

(boys, let's do it) 
  
Real love 
Real love 
  
I'll take your kisses, take your heart 
Everything if it hurts 
  
I love my sister so  (turn on shine) 
She don't smother me  (turn on shine, on shine) 
I played the spades I know  (on shine) 
I'm a Jack of all trades 
Would you bury me? 
  
Once you see her 
One inside  (hide, hide) 
Some of the things you just can't hide 
  
If you see her 
Tell me why  hurry, hurry 
Why won't she come outside? 
  
She will bury me 

Crush

You wrap your arms around 
A feeling that surrounds 
Like liquid peppermint 
Just taste the drinks that she served 
  
And this feeling shimmers down your spine 
Love comes in colors I can't deny 
All that matters is love, love, your love 
  
You're sleeping in your bed 
Just rest your weary head 
Maybe you shouldn't care 
Throw away those dreams and dare 
  
And I wonder if it matters to me 
Love comes in colors I can't deny 
All that shimmers is love, love, your love 
Your love 

Suffer


All that you suffer is all that you are All that you smother is all that you are And you're saying you're seeing, you're seeing who you are What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you are All may say I will dream All may say All of your struggles beneath your disguise Drink from the reasons that hold you alive 'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain You must rise from the mounds of desire and change Too late to discover peace of mind Too late to recover me All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to be Taken down your only son and what he means to me Your dream will be To dream with me Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you To cleanse your life takes more than time Take what you want Take all of it Too late to discover peace of mind Too late to recover
Snail

All your seven dreams 
Look close, son, and you'll believe 
As your things come undone 
See you are the only one 
  
Flower, seize the hour I did 
I wait 
Waiting, waiting for your wake 
I'll wait 
  
When you wake up you're all weak 
Throwing your life away 
Someday, sorry coming home 
Sorry snail 
What you wait for 
  
Flower, the pain will wash away, away 
When the sun shines 
Climbs through your window into your bed 
  
When you wake up you're all weak 
Throwing your life away 
Someday, sorry coming home 
Sorry snail 
Down in my heart 
  
Flower save the hours 
Flower away 
  
What you wait for 
Flower chase the sunshine 
Flower 

Tristessa

Pledged your faith 
my heart embraced 
struggle to renew 
  
Blurry mind 
so hypnotized 
fast enough who 
  
Wonder where you are 
Tristessa 
  
Soul takes soul 
as eye take eye 
I will wait for you 
  
What you believe 
you'll wish to receive 
I won't believe in you 
  
Hang on to your life 
Tristessa 
  
I love you true 
Surely I do 
Surely I do   
  
Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone? 
Do you ever wake up far from home? 
What you believe 
you'll wish to receive 
I won't believe in you 
Tristessa 

Window paine

Window Paine 
Around my heart 
Shadow streak 
Around my heart 
  
Do what you got to do 
And say what you got to say 
Do what you got to do 
Yes, start today 
Start today 
  
Wind blow shame 
Around my heart 
Shadow scream 
Around my heart 
  
What are you coming to 
Stripped down to the bone? 
Laughing, living  
On your own 
All alone 
  
Do what you got to do 
And say what you got to say 
Do what you got to do 
Yes, start today 
Start today 

Daydream

My daydream seems as one inside of me 
Though it seems hard to reach through this life 
Your blue and hopeless life 
  
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end 
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart 
My heart, my sacred heart 
  
My daydream dream 
My day dream dream 
  
I'm going crazy 
I'm going crazy 
I don't want feelings 
Your feelings 
  
I have gone crazy 
Motherfuckin' crazy 
I have gone
